Still answering fan mail in 1966

Here is a photo of Ringo and George answering fan mail backstage in St. Louis (woot! woot!) in 1966.  These guys had already performed a concert that day in Cincinnati and then flew on a plane and took a bus to Busch Stadium in St. Louis.   I doubt fan mail was on the top of their list of ways to spend their time before doing another concert in the pouring rain.   However, as Bob Bonis so wonderfully photographed, they are doing it.

  1. Poor guys.

    Just the idea that they had to do two shows a day, no wonder why John would lose his voice, shredding "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" and "Twist and Shout"....these guys didn't know how good they could actually have it! And then they had to talk incessantly to clueless reporters! ugh!

  2. My initial thought was that they were signing some sort of contracts. I can`t see any piles of fan mail just looks like a couple of documents... and note all those brief cases!! They might just be picking choice of dinner off a menu, or pre-concert contracts ..

  3. The caption in the book says that they were answering fan mail.
